Mercado Pago launches 'Dinero Blindado' to hide funds on trusted Wi-Fi

Mercado Pago, Argentina's leading fintech, introduced a security feature allowing users to hide selected funds, investments, and reserves unless connected to trusted Wi-Fi networks. This is a product innovation addressing rising concerns over device theft and unauthorized access, though its adoption and effectiveness remain unproven. The move signals a competitive push in digital wallet security within Latin America.
